Shields kinda showed what a great grappler with decent wrestling can do against Palhares. Now if there were also a ref that prevents eye gouges, Maia would probably win a decision. Always a chance of getting caught of course.

Wrecks some knees, destroys some careers and gets KOd by the rest.

You're only talking about round 2.

The guillotine was obviously tight. Arman admitted as much. Darce chokes I believe have a much higher success rate in the UFC once locked in like that than guillotines, no?

Yeah he was super careful (but still effective) for like 4:50 of the round and then engaged in crazy action at the end. Goes to show why you must play it careful against Oliveira.

Agree 100%. It comes down to how threatening the Darce attempt in the third was. Was it close to finishing? Would Arman have gotten out if the round lasted longer? Then Oliveira won the round. Was it rather harmless? Then Arman won the round. But in general it's insane to me how nobody cares...

Do you win the fight by almost finishing your opponent in two rounds where not much else happened, though? Or was it so super obvious that round 3 the choke presented zero danger? Even then what did Arman do in round 3!?

Yeah Khamzat looks much more polished in striking and grappling. Wouldn't matter if Nickal really is the better MMA wrestler.

Next to Pereira getting hit low, pushing Herb Dean away and landing the KO with the next punch. Just an insane event.

He'll get one shot to hit the guillotine.

Oh damn I'm not in the loop anymore

Is Turner the best striker at 155?

How did he survive that arm trinagle??

Tbf that seemed to be because he couldnt deal with the leg kicks. In the second round he didnt get hit with many of those anymore afair.

F*ck. That is hard to watch. Where Sabu broke his neck. I hope the guy getting KO'd here was/is ok. I think there was a story where someone got paralyzed trying to escape that way from a rear naked choke? There was also a guy getting paralyzed from trying a jumping armbar? Scary stuff.

That's actually a good example because apparently you can start to get these kind of hallucinations after 3 days without sleep already.

Neutral but brutal. The concept of prey and predators is messed up. Why can't we all just get along without starving?

Who are these boxers that can take those punches? Most of Joshua's opponents have suffered the same fate and that is despite the fact that they fought scared and defensively. Plus Joshua is arguably the heaviest hitter in the sport.

Yup. Although later we saw that in the orthodox stance he also had no defense for the right hand.

I think Big Foots top game was amazing and his best skill. Unfortunately he didn't have the takedowns to ever use it except against Fedor. Fedor might have caught him on the feet in a rematch but it was a bad matchup for him. Similar to Jacare was the nightmare matchup for Mousasi. Mousasi was...
